Knights of the Old Republic has been delayed, or so the developers say.

By Ivan Sulic

BioWare's hotly anticipated Star Wars themed action RPG has been delayed until the summer of 2003. That's quite a stretch from its original release date of spring 2003. Hahaha... No it's not. It 's actually harsher for Xbox kids who were originally scheduled to receive the light saber wielding bliss later this year. They'll now have to wait until spring of 2003.

The delay comes after an evaluation of the product showed that it wasn't moving along as expected. This is in no way a testament to the quality of the game, but rather its scope.

Knights of the Old Republic promises a new means of squad management that will appeal to console and PC players and will be the best Star Wars RPG to take place 4,000 years before the movie that we've ever seen. Yes, it'll also just be plain vanilla cool.

I have unwavering faith in very few developers. BioWare is one of them. If the company says it needs more time, then it needs more time. The game will just rock harder. End of story. Literally, this is the end of the article.
